One of my most favorite local non-GMO proponents is Alfalfa's grocery store. Not only do they support Colorado farmers, but they also boast a mostly organic and non-GMO product line. The market itself is also sustainable, and you can read more about that on their website. Their Boulder store is located on the corner of Broadway and Arapahoe!
On their blog, they talk a little bit about why they're so against GMOs. For starters, GMOs can contaminate nearby crops via cross-pollination--Alfalfa's is all about the organic farms! They acknowledge that GMOs are not allowed in organic agriculture and therefore that is the best way for you to make an informed decision about your groceries--buy organic! However, for those non-organic products, you can still keep a look out for third party verifications because Alfalfa's will "accept products that make a non-GMO claim as long as they are certified by one of these third party verifiers."
I was first made aware of their anti-GMO efforts when I visited during October (Anti-GMO Month) and saw their blatant participation!
